John Woodnutt, entrepreneur and inventor of electronic lighting control technology, has been awarded an MBE for services to Business and Entrepreneurship in the 2023 New Year Honours list. John pioneered lighting controls in the late 1950s and the Honour recognises his unique innovations in lighting controls and his six decades of commitment to creating smart, sustainable building solutions.
Delmatic’s smart lighting solutions seamlessly mesh wireless, wired and mixed-mode controls across physical or cloud networks, continuously monitoring, analysing and optimising lighting and sharing real-time intelligence to optimise building performance.
DALI-2 is the global standard for digital dimming, enabling devices from different manufacturers to be seamlessly integrated into interoperable networks.
We offer a wide range of DALI-2 products that can be integrated with other open protocol systems such as LON and BACnet.
A fully flexible Delmatic system manages lighting and solar shading throughout one of the City’s largest office redevelopments.

The state of the art system optimises energy-efficiency through a combination of presence and absence control, daylight-linked dimming, and connected control of window blinds and solar shading.
Open protocol communication and technology is key to the success of the project: the window blind controllers share the Delmatic network buswire (saving both cabling and installation), users can adjust lighting and blinds through a single convenient hand-held device, while Delmatic’s graphical user interface manages and monitors lighting and blinds throughout the project.
Sustainability is at the heart of the headquarters building which has a BREEAM Excellent rating and the Delmatic system plays an important role in achieving a high level of energy efficiency.
The building’s design makes extensive use of natural light so daylight linking is an important element of the control strategy, while extensive use is also made of presence and absence detection. The Delmatic system manages both artificial lighting (through digital switching and dimming) and daylighting (through control of window blinds).
The Delmatic system not only achieves on-going energy savings and operational cost savings system, but also reduced capital and installation costs by sharing network cables and hardware.
The building was successfully let by developers Exemplar as the new UK Headquarters for Blackrock.
